BADIL - Information & Discussion Brief No. 6 (July 2000):
"The UN RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY (UNRWA) and a DURABLE SOLUTION for
PALESTINIAN REFUGEES"
(Terry Rempel, Coordinator of Research and Information, BADIL)
Summary & Background:
Brief No. 6 is one of a set of three BADIL Briefs (No. 5-7), which
examine the special regime (outlined in Brief No. 1) established by
the United Nations to provide protection and assistance for
Palestinian refugees and promote a durable solution based on the
provisions of UN Resolution 194 (III). Briefs 5 and 7 provide an
overview of the UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP) and
the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
This Brief examines the work of the UN Relief and Works Agency
(UNRWA) established in 1949 to provide assistance for Palestinian
refugees. The Brief examines the future role of UNRWA in a durable
solution for Palestinian refugees. Based on a review of the Agency's
mandate, experience, and institutional resource, UNRWA could play a
useful functional role in a multi-agency, international burden-
sharing effort in the areas of refugee protection, human resource
development, social infrastructure development, and institutional
capacity building. Brief No. 6 is based on a paper prepared for a
workshop on the Future of UNRWA organized by the Palestinian Refugee
ResearchNet and the Royal Institute of International Affairs in
Minster-Lovell, UK, 19-20 February 2000.
Email copies of Brief 1-6 are available free of charge. For orders of
print copies, please contact BADIL.
